In this podcast episode, the hosts explore the looming end of the China dropshipping model, triggered by new US legislation. The updated de minimis rules now require dropshippers to pay tariffs and customs duties, submit customer social security numbers, and demonstrate product safety compliance. These changes make the dropshipping model unsustainable, with experts predicting it will become unviable within the next 18 months. The hosts strongly recommend against starting a China-based dropshipping business, suggesting instead that entrepreneurs focus on creating branded products for a more sustainable long-term approach.
